How to improve the effect of a professional hair mask

Today we'll talk about how you can improve the effect of a purchased hair mask several times.

If you want the mask to work on your hair, it is best to buy a professional mask. The composition of professional products includes conductor compounds that promote deep penetration of active substances into the hair structure.

Professional hair cosmetics contain a large number of active compounds to restore, nourish, strengthen and protect hair. Professional masks contain a large amount of silicone and keratin, therefore they effectively restore split ends and damaged hair cortes.

In professional cosmetics, there is no concept "For all hair types", each brand has specialized lines that are aimed at a specific action: restoration, nutrition, moisturizing, strengthening, protection.

Hair masks

When using professional hair masks, you must follow the manufacturer's recommendations. But from time to time you can move away from them.

Improving mask action: two ways

Method 1: after shampooing

Wash your hair as usual, but it is better to use shampoo to deep clean your hair, it will wash out all the dirt from your hair, sebum and styling products, open up the scales, which you then fill in with the mask and as a result get smooth, shiny hair. Deep cleansing shampoo it is advisable to use it once every two weeks, after such a shampoo the mask will work even better!

After shampooing your hair, wrap your hair in a towel to absorb excess moisture. Then take your favorite professional mask and apply it to the length of the hair, stepping back from the roots and paying good attention to the ends of the hair. After applying the mask, take a comb with rare teeth (only not a wooden one) and comb your hair, then wrap it with plastic wrap and put on a woolen hat or towel. It is necessary for the mask to envelop each hair. Keep the mask on your hair for 30 minutes and from time to time you warm up your hair with a hairdryer, without removing the insulation (here you just can not feel sorry for hot temperatures).

Hair masks

After the expiration of time, wash off the mask with running warm water, and at the very end you can rinse it off with cool water. The mask does not grease the hair, but it must be thoroughly washed off the hair. Even when you wash off the mask from your hair, you will feel the softness and smoothness of the hair under your hands. If, after such a mask, you still dry your hair with a hairdryer, it will be like after a salon.

Method 2: before washing your hair

The second method is also effective and suitable for owners of dry damaged hair.

The mask is applied before shampooing, but there should be no foam, varnish or other styling products on the hair. You need to moisten your hair (a little) with warm water, blot it with a towel and apply a mask (professional) to the length of the hair, wrap your hair in a bun, put a bag on top (or wrap it with foil) and a towel. Walk with the mask for 30-40 minutes and wash your hair as usual (shampoo, mask or conditioner). This procedure can be done once a month, or twice a month if the hair is very damaged.

    • Kate

      A friend told me about this method and I use it constantly, from time to time.

    Please tell me, you need to first wash your hair with a deep cleansing shampoo (I have goldwell), and then apply a mask and how much to warm it up? This is me about the first method.

    • Yuliya

      Yes, first you wash your hair, and then apply a mask, warm it up and warm it up with hot air from a hair dryer (you warm it up for 5 minutes, and walk for 10 minutes, then again warm it up for 5 minutes and walk for 10 minutes), then rinse everything off with warm water.

  3. Yuliya

    The mask will not get into unwashed hair! Why recommend this? As proof, you can offer your first option, where you wrote that it is better to wash your hair with deep cleansing shampoo to reveal the scales

    • Diana

      On my own example, I checked that the mask works well on unwashed hair, if it is a really high-quality product.
